New Jersey has two classifications of assault: simple assault and aggravated assault. Factors influencing the specific type of assault include the seriousness of the injury, whether or not weapons were involved, whether the act was committed intentionally, and more.

In fact, New Jersey defines certain activities to be simple assaults even if no injury occurred. To be charged with simple assault, a person doesn’t even need to inflict harm. The charge can be the result of attempts to cause bodily injury. Simple assault and battery is often associated with domestic violence cases.

One common factor of all assaults is that they are all considered criminal offenses in New Jersey. Aggravated assaults are further classified by their severity, with second, third and fourth degree designations. Aggravated assault can be the result of a violent bar fight, fighting back against a police officer resisting arrest and/or a variety of other situations.
